Lugo Guided City Tour

On the day of your tour, meet your guide by the giant chess board located in Praza Maior, Lugo's main city square and the location of the Concello, the town hall.

From here, you'll set off on your guided walking tour towards Saint Mary's Cathedral, built in the 12th century. This church is a key stop on the Camino Primitivo pilgrimage route. Inside, you will observe various architectural styles reflecting its history: Romanesque, Gothic, Baroque, and Neoclassical. Visit chapels dedicated to San Froilán and the Virgin with Big Eyes.

Next, you will reach Lugo's Roman walls, the only city globally still surrounded by intact Roman walls. You will walk alongside these ancient defenses while learning about Lucus Augusti. These 3rd-century walls are a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Continue to the Domus Do Mitreo Museum, located on an ancient Roman temple's remains. This innovative museum is managed by the University of Santiago de Compostela and provides insight into Lugo's Roman past.

You'll also stroll through the historic centre and visit main squares: Plaza de Santo Domingo, Plaza del Campo, Plaza de Campo Castelo, and Plaza Mayor.
